We give a complete answer to the rationality problem (up to stable $k$-equivalence) for norm one tori $T=R^{(1)}_{K/k}(\mathbb{G}_m)$ of $K/k$ whose Galois closures $L/k$ are $A_5\simeq {\rm PSL}_2(\mathbb{F}_4)$ and ${\rm…

We investigate the stable and retract rationality of multinorm one tori associated to finite {\'e}tale algebras. Our results are organized according to the greatest common divisor $d$ of the degrees of the factors. We show that these tori…

In this paper, we study the rationality problem for multinorm one tori, a natural generalization of norm one tori. For multinorm one tori that split over finite Galois extensions with nilpotent Galois group, we prove that stable rationality…

Let $k$ be a field. Let $A=\prod_{i=1}^r K_i$ and $B=\prod_{j=1}^s E_j$ be \'etale $k$-algebras where $K_i$ and $E_j$ are finite separable field extensions of $k$ with $[K_i:k]=m_i$ and $[E_j:k]=n_j$. Let…

We study whether the norm one torus associated with a finite separable non-Galois field extension $K/k$ is $p$-retract rational over $k$ for a prime $p$, focusing on the case where the Galois group of the Galois closure of $K/k$ is either…

We classify stably/retract rational norm one tori in dimension $p-1$ where $p$ is a prime number and in dimension up to ten with some minor exceptions.

Let $L/k$ an Galois extension of number fields with Galois group isomorphic to a dihedral group of order $2n$. In this note, we give a general description of the Hasse norm principle for $L/k$ and the weak approximation for the norm one…

We study stable rationality of conic bundles $X$ over $\mathbb{P}^1$ defined over non-closed field $k$ via the cohomology of the Galois group of finite field extension $k'/k$ with action on the geometric Picard lattice of $X$.

Let $K/k$ be an extension of number fields. We describe theoretical results and computational methods for calculating the obstruction to the Hasse norm principle for $K/k$ and the defect of weak approximation for the norm one torus…

Given a generic field extension F/k of degree n>3 (i.e. the Galois group of the normal closure of F is isomorphic to the symmetric group $S_n$), we prove that the norm torus, defined as the kernel of the norm map $N:R_{F/k}(G_m)\to\G_m$, is…

The study of the birational properties of algebraic $k$-tori began in the sixties and seventies with work of Voskresenkii, Endo, Miyata, Colliot-Th\'el\`ene and Sansuc. There was particular interest in determining the rationality of a given…

Rationality problems of algebraic k-tori are closely related to rationality problems of the invariant field, also known as Noether's Problem. We describe how a function field of algebraic k-tori can be identified as an invariant field under…

We prove that existence of a k-rational point can be detected by the stable A^1-homotopy category of S^1-spectra, or even a "rationalized" variant of this category.

Let k be a number field and K/k Galois. We transform the construction of the unramified Brauer group of the norm one torus R^1_K/k(G_m) into the construction of a special abelian extension over K. If k=Q and K/Q biquadratic, we explicitly…

The K-theory of a functor may be viewed as a relative version of the K-theory of a ring. In the case of a Galois extension of a number field F/L with rings of integers A/B respectively, this K-theory of the "norm functor" is an extension of…

Let $(X, D)$ be a log variety with an effective holomorphic torus action, and $\Theta$ be a closed positive $(1,1)$-current. For any smooth positive function $g$ defined on the moment polytope of the torus action, we study the…

Let $k$ be a field, $T$ be an algebraic $k$-torus, $X$ be a smooth $k$-compactification of $T$ and ${\rm Pic}\,\overline{X}$ be the Picard group of $\overline{X}=X\times_k\overline{k}$ where $\overline{k}$ is a fixed separable closure of…

We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the Hasse norm principle for field extensions $K/k$ when the Galois groups ${\rm Gal}(L/k)$ of the Galois closure $L/k$ of $K/k$ are isomorphic to the Mathieu group $M_{11}$ of degree $11$ of…

In \cite{GQ2008} R. Gow and R. Quinlan have cast a new look on the endomorphism algebra of a $K$-vector space $V$ of dimension $n$ assuming that $K$ has a Galois extension $L$ of degree $n$. In this approach the $K$-space $L$ may serve as a…
